the parkland acquired by the City will he included within the proposed plat.
lie introduced Phil Carlson 'of Howard Dahlgren S Associates who explained the
proposal in detail. A number of neighboring owners, particularly from the
Timberline area, were present and a letter from Mrs. Frances Winkel, president
of Timberline Civic Association, was read. The developer indicated that it would
commit itself to selling the units and not develop for rentals and further
that it would install adequate screening on the north side adjacent to Timberline
Addition. The Timberline 4ssociation members appeared to favor the present
proposal with cul-de-sacs rather than looped streets.
Member Bohne was concerned about elderly housing being planned near the
Univac R 6 D property. Mr. Reckstad indicated that the developer is uncertain
whether it would use 203B single family townhouse or 234 multifamily act
development. There was considerable discussion regarding the recommendation of
the staff that cul-de-sacs be allowed only where terrain requires due to maintenance
costs, ease of maintaining, the potential problems with emergency vehicles, etc.
There was also discussion indicating that cul-de-sacs create greater real
estate tax values and that the Planning Commission should be consistent in its
treatment of cul-de-sacs and its allowance or denial of them within new plats.
Planning Commission Members recommended that the staff study the landscape
bond provision and make a recommendation concerning a reasonable bond amount
be required in each new development. Roszak moved, Hall seconded the motion, to
recommend approval of the application for preliminary plat approval subject to
the following conditions:
1. A homeowner's association shall be established and the bylaws of
the homeowner's association shall be submitted and reviewed by City staff prior
to final plat approval.
